On which layer of the earth would you find landforms?
The surface.
Where do you find coarse grained rock?
true mf
Where would you find aluminum and silicon in earth's interior?
you would find it in the crust
What would you expect to see underneath the layer of granite?
Well, beneath granite you would find any layer of Mafic igneous rock. Basalt is the most common Mafic rock, so that's a good start. It's what you will typically find forming the ocean floor as well as the heavy layer of the earth's crust beneath the granitic layers.
Where could you find granite?
Granite is quarried in huge blocks (up to 35 tons!) from the mountains of Italy, the US, India, Brazil, Norway and dozens of other countries.
On which layer of the earth would you find landforms?
The surface.
Where do you find coarse grained rock?
true mf
Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate
Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt?
You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt on the flanks of a volcano, most likely a shield volcano.
How many elements make up earths crust?
How many elements make up the earths crust? The earths crust is made of many layers..You can find clay and very good soil. But that is if you dig a little way down. the earth has a center which is called the core of the earth. Inside this core is lava and is incredibly hot. Like the sun but not as hot..

If you were to tunnel into the crust of the earth what kind of rock would you most likely find there?

Where can you find basalt rock?
you can find the Basalt rock and where near a volcano or where ever somebody had put it.
Crude oil is often found in the Earths crust why is this a problem?
billions of gallons of oil and tons of coal has been extracted from the earths crust which is obviously leaving an emptyness behind, i find it hard it hard to believe that this space remains empty without any collapse in the crust to fill the empty space. if there was a collapse in the earths crust then it would surely be felt as an earthquake or maybe even a tsunami.Earth is only a few kilometers thickness but crude oil pockets could lie anywhere, even under the sea.The crust has to be bored and plugged up for extraction which causes spillage and harms bio life to upset the ecology.
Where in the crust would you find sedimentary rock?
The very top layer of crust.
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
Where would you find aluminum and silicon in earth's interior?
you would find it in the crust
